Gethsemane Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Ferrus91 

Cover art for Gethsemane lyrics by Nightwish

Jesus in Gethsemane is an supremely powerful image - that of a man who knows he is going to die praying, crying to be saved. In the story he is alone as the others sleep, so it is about being alone and torturing yourself. This is unrequited love her... but adds that his ambition will forever be his by virtue of her being the cause of so much pain.
